This Is What Happens When Kids Try On New York's Most Expensive Jewelry

Photoshoot after photoshoot–and some editors' engagements in between–have us feeling like little girls in a candy store each time a tray of diamonds, emeralds and sapphires appears on set. With that obsession in mind, we figured it would be fun to watch what happens when actual little girls stepped into our adult version of a candy store–Van Cleef & Arpels.

We put Marilyn's Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend credo to the test and invited five little girls on a field trip to try on pieces from one of the world's most influential archives. Consider us the fairy godmothers of Fifth Avenue.
